Patented Nov; 19, 1929 UNITED STATES ANTHONY T. KORTZ, F GRAND RAPIDS,MIGHI IIGAN FURNITURE FIXTURE Application filed September 8, 1928.Serial No. 304,635.

The present invention relates to furniture fixtures, such as cardholders and the like; and its object is to provide such a fixture soformed as to be readily mounted on an article of furniture, such as acabinet or drawer.

This and any other and more specific objects hereinafter appearing areattained by, and the invention finds preferable embodiment in, 'thestructure hereinafter particularly described in the body of thisspecification and illustrated by the accompanying drawings, in whichFigure 1 is a face view of a furniture fixture-a card holdermounted onthe wall of an article of furniture;

Figure 2 is a sectional view thereof taken on line 22 of Figure 1;

Figure 3 is a view in perspective of the inner side of said fixture;

Figure 4 is a fragmentary sectional view taken on the line on whichFigure 2 is taken, but illustrating the position of the extension whichcarries the screw bolt before said extension is bent to the positionseen in Figures 535 2 and 8;

Figure 5 is a fragmentary view of the fixture showing in perspective theinner side of its corner, and illustrating a modified construction; and

Figure 6 is a view of one of the screw bolts.

In these drawings a metallic furniture fixture, in form a card holder,is shown mounted on the wall 1 of an article of furniture, such as thefront of the metallic drawer of a cabinet or the like.

This card holder has a face or body portion 2 with an opening 3therethrough displaying to view the markings on the card 4 held by theholder. This fixture has a peripheral inwardly extending flange 5 and,in the construction illustrated has another inwardly extending flange 5parallel with flange 5 and whose free edge 6 may be spaced outwardlyfrom the surface of wall 1 sufliciently to permit the card to be slippedinto the holder through the gap 7 in the upper part of flange 5.

One of these flanges5 or 5 -has one or more tab-like extensions 8 or 8respectively which carry mounting means for the fixture,

as the threaded bolts 9 having heads 10. These heads are held betweensaid extensions 8 or 8 and the body portion 2 of the fixture, when suchextensions, which are of bendable material and integral with the entirefixture, are bent over from the position shown in Figure 4 and toward orinto the position seen in Figures 2, 3 and 5 wherein such extensions arein approximately parallel relation with the body portion 2 or face ofthe fixture. By providing flat sided heads of these bolts as shown inFigure 6 the bolts are made nonturnable.

The bolts extend through orifices 11 in said extensions and holes 12 inthe wall 1 and receive nuts 13 inside the wall whereby the fixture issecurely mounted thereon.

This fixture and said extensions 8, 8 being formed of springable orresilient material, and said extensions being slightly inclined frombeing parallel with the wall 1, the screwing down of the nuts 13 drawsthe fixture toward said wall with a more or less yielding pressure.

The invention being intended to be pointed out in the claims, is not tobe limited to or by details of construction of any particular embodimentthereof illustrated by the drawings or hereinbefore described.

I claim:

1. A metallic card holder adapted to be mounted on a cabinet wall andcomprising a body portion with an opening therethrough for displayingthe card, a peripheral flange extending inwardly from the body portionand having a bendable and springable extension provided with an orificetherethrough and bent toward approximately parallel relation with thebody portion, and mounting means comprising a threaded bolt extendingthrough the orifice and said wall and having a nut and a headnonturnably held between said extension and body portion.

2. A metallic card holder adapted to be mounted on a cabinet wall andcomprising a body portion with an opening therethrough for displayingthe card, a peripheral flange extending inwardly from the body portionand having a bendable extension provided with an orifice therethroughand bent toward approximately parallel relation With the body portion,and mounting means comprising a threaded bolt extending through theorifice and said Wall and having a nut and a head nonturnably heldbetween said extension and body portion.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand at Grand Rapids,Michigan, this 30th day of August, 1928.

ANTHONY T. KORTZ.
